Profile
One of several young players tried out as Kapil Dev's
opening partner in the 80s, Arun forced his way into the Indian
team by some splendid performances in the domestic circuit. But
he played only in two Tests against Sri Lanka in 1986-87 with
modest success, though he was the most successful bowler with
three for 76 in his first Test. A burly right arm medium pace
bowler and a hard hitting middle order batsman, Arun played with
much success for Tamil Nadu and was a prominent member of the
Ranji Trophy winning side in 1987-88. In the Duleep Trophy, his
best performance was the record sixth wicket partnership of 221
with WV Raman for South Zone against West Zone in the 1986-87
final, his own share being 149. (Partab Ramchand)
